The Exide ET12B-BS in practice
ET12B-BS vs Exide ET14B-BS
The Exide ET12B-BS offers 10 Ah and 160 A cold cranking in a 150 × 70 × 130 mm case. The Exide ET14B-BS, same brand and technology, goes up to 12 Ah and 190 A and costs €6.10 more. Going up is only worth it if the tray allows it and the car cranks lazily in the cold; in normal use this one is plenty.

Motorcycle battery Exide ET12B-BS Moto AGM 10Ah 160A 12V
The Exide ET12B-BS from the Moto AGM range is a motorcycle battery with 10 Ah and 160 A of cold cranking current (EN), designed for motorcycles, scooters, quads and personal watercraft. Measuring 150 × 70 × 130 mm and the positive terminal on the left, it is the direct replacement for motorcycles fitted from the factory with a 10 Ah battery of this format.
- AGM: faster recharging and better cycle resistance than a conventional battery.
- Sealed and ready to fit, no acid handling.
- Holds its charge through winter storage.
- Compact and lightweight format.
What the Exide ET12B-BS is for
The Exide ET12B-BS is a common replacement in motorcycles, scooters, quads and personal watercraft. If your bike spends the winter standing, a trickle charger stops it reaching spring flat. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 3.70 kg, M04 terminals and B0 hold-down.
Will it fit your current battery tray?
In terms of format, the Exide ET12B-BS measures 150 × 70 × 130 mm (length × width × height) and weighs 3.70 kg. The positive terminal on the left decides which side the cables end up on: it is the detail that causes most buying mistakes, so check it before ordering. It uses a B0 hold-down and M04 terminals, the system that anchors and connects it in the vehicle. Before replacing it, measure your current battery tray: if all three dimensions and the terminal positions match, the swap is direct and needs no adapters.
Why choose Exide batteries
With more than a century of history, Exide Technologies manufactures automotive, marine, motorcycle and industrial batteries in Europe. Its presence as original equipment on assembly lines vouches for the quality of every reference. At baterias.com we work directly with the manufacturer or its official distributor: real stock, brand-new product and official warranty.
The Exide ET12B-BS: Moto AGM range and AGM technology
Within the Exide catalogue, the Moto AGM series groups the references designed for this use. The ET12B-BS is the 10 Ah model of that family, with the same performance as its siblings in other sizes.
In an AGM battery the electrolyte is absorbed in glass-fibre separators: there is no free liquid, it cannot spill and it can be mounted at an angle. That construction lowers internal resistance, speeds up recharging and multiplies cycle life compared with a conventional battery.
Care and maintenance
Avoid repeated cranking attempts on a cold bike for long: if it does not start on the third try, let the battery rest for a minute. Check the resting voltage before the season (above 12.6 V on a charged battery) and make sure the terminals are clean and tight.
Manufacturer's warranty
The Exide ET12B-BS comes with the manufacturer's official warranty. The warranty does not cover discharge through prolonged inactivity: if the bike stands for months, use a trickle charger.
Delivery times and returns
Same-day dispatch from our warehouse for in-stock orders placed before 6:00 pm: 24-48 working hours in mainland Spain and Portugal, 3 to 5 days in the islands and the rest of Europe. Returns are accepted for 14 days if the battery has not been used (free collection on the Iberian mainland). You will receive tracking by email.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Exide YT12B-BS an AGM battery and what are the benefits of AGM?
Yes, it is AGM. In an AGM battery such as the YT12B-BS, the electrolyte is not free but absorbed in a glass-fibre mat inside a sealed lead-acid battery. Its advantages: more charge/discharge cycles than a conventional battery and better heat tolerance.
How should this motorcycle battery be charged?
With a 12 V motorcycle charger delivering at most 10 % of its capacity: 1 A for its 10 Ah. High-current car chargers can damage it. If the bike is laid up for the winter, keep it on a maintenance charger.
Does it need maintenance?
No: being AGM, it is sealed and nothing needs topping up. Just keep it charged if the bike stands for a long time.
What is the service life of the YT12B-BS model?
As a rough estimate, the Exide YT12B-BS typically lasts 4 to 6 years, keeping it charged when the bike is not in use; it is a guide figure, not a guaranteed period. Actual lifespan varies with climate (cold starts, heat evaporating the electrolyte), with usage and short journeys, with the condition of the alternator and charging system, with power draw while parked and with maintenance.
What are the measurements of the YT12B-BS model?
Length × width × height: 150x70x130 mm. Height is measured to the top of the terminals. Measure your motorcycle's battery tray first; if the battery exceeds it by even a millimetre, the hold-down clamp may not close.
What polarity does the Exide YT12B-BS battery have?
Polarity of the Exide YT12B-BS: positive on the left. If your current battery has its positive on the other side, this one is not suitable without longer cables or a reconfigured system (short-circuit risk). Seen from the front, terminals towards you, the positive (+) is the post with the red ring.
Will the Exide YT12B-BS battery fit my motorcycle?
The quickest way is to enter your number plate in the finder: DGT/DVLA/KBA detect model and engine. You can also look at the "Compatible vehicles" tab, verified by our technical team, or send us make, model, engine and year on WhatsApp; we answer during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:30–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). If our table and the motorcycle handbook disagree, go with what the manufacturer says.
What are the equivalents of the YT12B-BS model?
The "Equivalents" section further down lists the recommended alternatives. A direct equivalent needs what this YT12B-BS offers: 150×70×130 mm, positive on the left, the same Ah and CCA and AGM technology.
Exide ET12B-BS or Varta YT12B-BS: which one to choose?
Same case and same technology as the ET12B-BS: an alternative by size, not an official equivalent. Compared with the ET12B-BS it has 2 Ah more and 55 A of cold cranking more. It costs 31,20 € more. If the polarity matches and your bike had a similar capacity, it works as a replacement; if in doubt, ask us with your model.
